Mutt has two modes. One is when you're just looking at a list of messages, the other is when you're reading a message in the bottom of the window and (typically) looking at a list in the top of the window. The '$' command to update messages only works when you're in the former mode. So if you're looking at a message and want to see if there are more messages, you would: 1. Type 'q' to quit reading the message and return to the list mode. 2. Type '$' to update the list. 3. Type '?' for a huge, informative list of commands. (Compare to what happens when you type '?' while reading a message.) Apologies for not knowing the proper terms for the different modes, etc., non-newbies feel free to chime in.
